How far I've come in 6 months:
- I feel like a normal person most of the time.
- My left hip hurts more often and more painfully than my right.
- My scar isn't so bad.
- It was worth it, worth it, worth it.
In 3 months and a day I'll be back in to have my left hip done. My second surgery will be almost a year to the day that I learned I have hip dysplasia and that the pain that had been plaguing me for years could be alleviated.
I'm looking forward to February pop-up '09. I'll be done with my surgery, done with my crutches and done with my cane. And except for the final hardware removal, I'll be done with the year of the hip.
